Corn and Zucchini Salad with Avocado Dressing


  • Author: Marie Bostwick
  • Yield: 6 servings as a side dish 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ears of husked corn on the cob
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into chunks approximately 1.5 inches
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced into halves
  • 2 T chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, cut into 1-inch chunks

For the Avocado Dressing

  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 2 T extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 T white balsamic vinegar
  • 12 T fresh lime juice (amount depends on how tart you like your dressing)
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Put a large pot of salted water on stove and bring to a rolling boil. Place corn into post and boil for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove cobs from pot and plunge into cold water.
  • When corn is cooled, use a sharp knife to slice kernels from the cob.
  • Place corn, zucchini, tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and avocado chunks into a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Make the avocado dressing by whisking olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, use the back of a fork to mash the half avocado until fairly smooth. Add mashed avocado to the oil and vinegar mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine.
  • Pour the avocado dressing onto the vegetables and stir with a wooden spoon to distribute dressing evenly. Serve immediately or keep covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
